Repent. I'm not exactly sure why I chose to feature a bloody, red band trailer for a film called Black Death on the day after Christmas (aka Boxing Day in the UK, Canada, Australia), but it may have something to do with the lack of new worthwhile indie trailers out there. Anyway, below you'll find the red band for Triangle director Christopher Smith's medieval action-adventure horror film Black Death, starring Sean Bean as Ulric and Eddie Redmayne as Osmund, as well as Carice van Houten and David Warner. So if you want a brief escape from all the holiday cheer, then look no further, as this trailer is definitely not family friendly.
Watch the red band trailer for Christopher Smith's Black Death from Hulu:

Synopsis: Plague-ridden medieval England: Bodies lie scattered in their hundreds, the country is in turmoil. One hope remains, rumours of a village that is unaffected by the deadly disease. As God’s ambassador, young monk Osmund (Eddie Redmayne) is tasked in leading the fearsome knight Ulrich (Sean Bean) and his group of mercenaries to the remote village. Their quest is to hunt down a necromancer – someone able to bring the dead back to life.

Their journey is treacherous and filled with danger; encountering deadly bandits and vicious witch-burnings that will put their faith to the ultimate test.

The Red Band trailer for Christopher Smith's (Severance, Triangle) latest film, Black Death has arrived. The film is a horror action hybrid taking place in 1348 right in the midst of the dreaded plague. The film stars Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne as holy warriors seeking out a village untouched by the plague because they probably made a pact with the Devil. Watch the trailer, embedded below!

If I may say so myself...this trailer makes me really fucking excited. I love historical horror films and I love Sean Bean. From what I can tell off the trailer, Smith has created a world that feels like the stench of the plague is exuding from the screen. Look at those dead and rotting bodies. Look at that torture equipment. Who's excited? I Am.

The Bubonic Plague always seemed like the worst. Just the worst. You would think one wouldn't be all

Director Christopher Smith‘s (Triangle, Severance) film, Black Death, was released in the UK several months ago to generally positive reviews, now it’s ramping up the publicity with a new red band trailer and a gloomy-looking poster telling us to “repent”, in readiness for its Us theater opening next March 11 . [/Film]

Starring Sean Bean, the story follows a knight during the years of the black plague, who must uncover the truth about a village that remains untouched by the disease. Rumour has it the place is looked after by a necromancer who can resurrect the dead. Check out the full synopsis below:

The year is 1348. Europe has fallen under the shadow of the Black Death. As the plague decimates all in its path, fear and superstition are rife. In this apocalyptic environment, the church is losing its grip on the people. There are rumors of a village, hidden in marshland that the plague cannot reach.

Christopher Smith (Severance, Triangle) has finished his film Black Death, in which Sean Bean plays a knight tasked with discovering the truth about a nearby village. Stories say that it is untouched by the black plague, and that it is led by a necromancer who can raise the dead. Eddie Redmayne is along for the ride, as a young monk meant to lead the knight to the storied village. But things don't go quite as planned.
We've seen one international trailer [1] for the film; now there's a red-band version, which is after the break.
Sadly, the trailer is hosted on Hulu, which means that people outside the Us probably won't be able to see it. Furthermore, you'll have to log into Hulu to see it. When a more universally accessible version hits, we'll update.
Black Death is On Demand from February 4, and hits theaters on March 11.
The year is 1348. Europe

[Fyi, this review will cover the documentary only, the rest of the package will be covered separately]

The early 1980's was a magical time for movie lovers. The dawn of home video. Everyone was scooping up $700 VCRs like their lives depended on it. Thousands upon thousands of films that you'd never had a chance to see either in a theater or at home on television were suddenly at one's fingertips. This was the same all around the world. In the UK, something happened in those early years that went on to define the tastes of a generation of horror fans, the advent of the Video Nasty.

I'll assume that most of you, my fair readers, are at least aware of the Video Nasty. Here is the briefest of descriptions, courtesy of Wikipedia:

"Video nasty" was a term coined in the United Kingdom in the 1980s that originally applied to a number of films distributed on video cassette that were criticized for their violent content by various religious organizations,

She was indeed the girl. But which girl? Camilla Rhodes? Just another nameless blond wannabe actress lip-syncing for her life? A slinky id to further lead Betty down Hollywood’s hellish rabbit hole - or take Diane for a five-dollar fool? She embodied what Betty/Diane always wanted; she represented what killed Betty/Diane. Of course she was Melissa George making the fake fifties pretty by miming her way through Linda Scott’s ‘I’ve Told Every Little Star’. The camera catches her pouts, puckers and pretend act up close and personal. She's the girl in a glossy 10x8; a haunting headshot in your face. One thing’s for sure: we’ll never know what, why or indeed who Camilla was. That’s the big unanswered anomaly of David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. (2001).

Liam Hemsworth has ignited rumor he is back to the single market. The Will Blakelee of "The Last Song" has been spotted partying at the Myer Derby After Dark Party and Eve Nightclub without girlfriend Miley Cyrus on Saturday night, October 30. At the time, he was reportedly cozying up to a blond named Yolanda Vendy.

To Confidential, party insiders reported that the younger brother of Chris Hemsworth kept the blond close by his side though he went to the party with friends that include buddy Rhys Uhlich and neighbors cop Scott McGregor. The two allegedly "sat whispering together" at one of the private tables at Derby After Dark. They were among the last to leave the party before going to Eve Nightclub.

When asked about whether or not she is friend with the "Triangle" actor, Yolanda coyly replied, "If that's what you want to call it." She additionally admitted she

It's a 21st century take on 'Creepshow' and a peek at the dark side of 'Paris, je t'aime.' It's a new horror anthology called 'Paris I'll Kill You,' and it features a bevy of horrormeisters taking a shot at the underbelly of the city of love.

It's a 21st century take on 'Creepshow' and a peek at the dark side of 'Paris, je t'aime.' It's a new horror anthology called 'Paris I'll Kill You,' and it features a bevy of horrormeisters taking a shot at the underbelly of the city of love.

Anthology films composed of multiple shorts from a variety of directors seem to be all the rage as of late, and earlier this year we reported on an all-star sketch comedy compilation [1] from The Farrelly Brothers and also a new collaborative horror project from Adam Green called Chillerama [2]. Now it looks like the folks at Instinctive Film [3] are putting together another awesome horror omnibus featuring the work of veterans like Joe Dante (Gremlins) and relative newcomers like Paco Plaza ([Rec]). It is called Paris I'll Kill You, an obvious tongue-in-cheek reference to the 2006 film Paris Je T'aime. Check out the stellar line-up of filmmakers involved after the jump.
Paris I'll Kill You will contain ten different horror segments, all loosely tied together by the fact that they take place in Paris, France. The directors for these short films include:
Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling)
Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube)
Paco Plaza ([Rec], [Rec] 2)
Xavier Gens (Hitman,

While anthologies are always hit or miss by nature, this mix of directors has me optimistic as several of them have helmed enjoyable movies that challenged the boundaries of the horror genre. Dante’s directed fun flicks that blend comedy and horror in the suburbs,
